About this listen
Death by Proposal is book 7 in the number-one best-selling Caribbean Murder series, which begins with Death by Honeymoon (book 1) - a free download on Amazon!
Cindy and Mattheus, finally away together for a much-needed vacation on the beautiful island of Aruba, are awakened by horrible shouts of despair. A guest at the hotel has just discovered his new fiancée dead under their window, sprawled out on the courtyard below, soon after he had proposed. The two had recently met online, had a long-distance Internet relationship, and had met in person only a few times. The entire hotel is terrified and mobilized. Was it suicide, or was it murder?
Despite pressure from Mattheus for Cindy to focus on their relationship and not become involved, she has to fulfill the promise she made to herself to help victims of crime. She can't stop herself from jumping in and helping. Cindy and Mattheus' relationship is put under strain as the tension heats up and they explore the strange web of relationships between the family of the young woman and her new fiancée. They meet the lackadaisical police on the island; the victim's strange father, who always expected her to die; and the dead woman's hotheaded boyfriend, who recently turned up at the hotel with his new girlfriend. They are propelled deep into the worlds of counterfeit love, fantasy relationships, and the horror of not knowing the truth about the person you are with.

You’ve been excited about this getaway for months–at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he unexpectedly calls you from the beach, you hear the urgency in his voice. Something is very wrong.

Story
Ten years ago, I was seventeen, spending summers with my wealthy family, and friends on Hawk Island. One terrible night, I blacked out. The next morning, my best friend, Melanie, was gone—vanished without a trace. Today, I go back. To the island. To my sister's wedding. To a group of privileged people with whom I've never belonged. To secrets that someone will kill to keep. A storm is coming. A storm that could allow a kidnapper to escape, or a killer to murder again, and reveal the true faces of All the Pretty People.

For my forty-fifth birthday, I planned to treat myself to a spa day with my bestie. But instead, my late husband's insurance broker drops by to let me know that not only am I still widowed but my husband's insurance policies are being paid to his other wife-and his other family. The next thing I know, I'm being romanced by an Indiana Jones wannabe who arrives like a dervish to sweep me off my feet. One thing leads to another, but before anything happens, Indy goes missing, the place is trashed, and I've got myself a glowing snake tattoo that seems to be talking to me about magic.
